Name of Episode

First Aired

A teenage hero for everyone

Ms. Marvel has finally concluded, and I have to say I pretty much enjoyed the series. I thought it was great! I thought the quirky use of coloured animation in various places to emphasise certain scenes like on the sides of buildings and in shop windows for text's on mobile phones etc. The whole series and characters were obviously aimed at the younger generation and at the end of the day... why not?. That's why Spiderman was introduced all those years ago. It's a teen series that works just as well for adults

I'm not exactly a Ms. Marvel fan and don't exactly know much about the character except for what the hero looked like. I remember when the name Ms. Marvel was associated with the Captain Marvel everyone knows today and have to say I loved that version of Ms. Marvel. It's a shame that Marvel took the decision to change a few things especially her powerset and to associate Ms. Marvel with the Mutants and NOT the INHUMANS. One thing though.... are those the original Captain Marvel's (that's Mar-Vell, not Carol Danvers) MEGA BANDS that Marvel are introducing... if so, when will the second one be found?

I've always been a fan of the INHUMANS, especially Black Bolt and Medusa and the royal family and let's not forget LockJaw who was probably the only well presented character in the awful INHUMANS TV series. I'm sure MARVEL have their reasons which will become more evident as time progresses.

I find it really disappointing and disturbing how much hate this series has gained from the online idiots, who can only be described as 'Man Babies' or keyboard warriors that hide behind their computers. What is so wrong with a younger version of a superhero being shown on TV... yes a few things have been changed that don't follow the original character but so what! I think it's far more important to have at least one TV series that a much younger generation can 'connect' with and hopefully spark an interest to go and search out others within the universe and maybe even go out and sort out the actual comics.

Iman Vellani, who plays Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel is a genuinely a fresh addition to the MCU. She looks like she's totally enjoying the experience and seems to me to approach the character with a 'spark' in her eyes. The use of Pakistani touchstones, Indian tunes and copious insider references to Bollywood and Muslim traditions and beyond is wonderful.

Check out the trailer below.

Kamala's heritage and family dynamics are just a pleasure to watch and I just adore Kamala's Mother. I love how the writers have made it look like she doesn't realise what she's said sometimes. Reminded me soooooooo much of when my mum would say something and I would look at her with a 'befuddled' look and she'd reply "what have I said"!

In episode two we're introduced to the social groups. The Mosque Bros, The Pious Boys
The Insta Clique's, The Mini Hirami Girls and the best one of all.... The IlluminAunties. Described as.. "The ones that know it all and will not let you forget it" .... absolutely brilliant!

Would it have been better if Kamala made her debut on the global big screens, like T’Challa and Shang-Chi before her? Maybe, but I don't think it would have worked so well.

I thought it was a joy to witness a drama that gives South Asia a moment to celebrate and has so much heart!. I'm looking forward to see what the future holds for Kamala Khan. Vellani is an absolute treasure, and it will be fun to see both the actress and the character become part of the sprawling Marvel Cinematic Universe. Mind you, we already know that Iman will return as Kamala, teaming up with Captain Marvel and WandaVision's Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau in the second Captain Marvel film, The Marvels. I just hope that Vellani does not get over shadowed by the other two.

But, hey… it’s only my own personal opinion!
